TBO I do not think it is worth it. Intermixing native and xorrisofs
options is probably not a good idea anyway from usability point of
view. Passing non-option arguments still works as before; and for
options it is custom to use "--" to disambiguate non-option arguments
starting with dash (and xorrisofs options are non-option argument for
grub-mkrescue).
